Plans for a hotel key to the Pinehurst Resortâs new role as an anchor site for the U.S. Open and other golfing championships have cleared the first phase of the villageâs approval process.
After more than four hours of presentations, public hearings and discussion on Wednesday, Pinehurstâs Planning and Zoning board unanimously recommended the conditional rezoning of 2.7 acres off of Carolina Vista Drive to allow for construction of a 64,000-square-foot hotel.
The project with the working title âThe Lodge at Pinehurstâ will involve 34 rooms, including some suites, lobby, meeting spaces, locker room, fitness area and bar. Itâs scheduled to be finished by the end of 2023, in time for the next U.S. Open at Pinehurst No. 2 in 2024.
